Iowa GOP Sen. Joni Ernst has been one of the most popular freshmen in the upper house and a model of how one can be an effective lawmaker without selling out to the establishment infrastructure. Needless to say, that made her a prominent figure on Donald Trump’s vice presidential shortlist, in spite of her inexperience.

However, in an interview with Politico published Wednesday, Sen. Ernst seemed to intimate that she was too focused on the work ahead of her as a representative of the people of Iowa to consider running on a ticket with the presumptive Republican Party presidential nominee.

Ernst made the remarks after she met with Trump on Monday, after which Trump predicted that he would “see her again.”

“I made that very clear to him that I’m focused on Iowa. I feel that I have a lot more to do in the United States Senate. And Iowa is where my heart is,” Ernst told Politico. “I’m just getting started here. I have a great partner with Chuck Grassley, we’ve been able to accomplish a lot. And I think that President Trump will need some great assistance in the United States Senate and I can provide that.”

“I will probably participate more as an advocate,” Ernst added. “I would love to assist him out on the trail.”

As for who she would support, the 46-year-old senator said she would support Indiana Gov. Mike Pence.

“I will admit that I am a Mike Pence fan,” Ernst said. “He is so well-rounded, served as a governor and I think he’s a great conservative. So I don’t think he could go wrong.”

Gov. Pence, a former member of the House of Representatives with 12 years of legislative experience, would also check off the box of federal electoral experience that Trump has been said to be looking for.
